Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 426 Parasites Living in the Blood
This old man is over 80 years old this year. He was originally a resident of Donghai City, but now he lives in a cave in the south of Donghai City.

Besides him, there is also a teenage grandson.

He told Ning Qiu that his grandson had been weak since childhood and could hardly take care of himself.

And there is a rule in Donghai City, that is, people over 80 years old must participate in the annual Sea God Festival.

But the so-called Sea God Ceremony is to dedicate the body to the Sea God.

Ning Qiu and Jiang Ling couldn't help but look at each other after listening.

"Could this Sea God be the Corpse King?" Ning Qiu doubted.

When they returned to land just now, they saw a place similar to a square. The old man told them that it was the place where the Sea God Ceremony was held every year, called the Sea God Altar.

"I was supposed to participate in that ceremony and dedicate myself to the Sea God, but I can't leave my grandson behind, he can't live without me," said the old man.

Therefore, in order to protect his grandson, he took his grandson and left Donghai City, lived in a cave, and lived by hunting corpses.

"I just saw a lot of fish creatures in the sea, why don't they eat fish, but eat corpses?" Ning Qiu asked.

"I can eat those fish, but my grandson can't." The old man said in a deep voice.

"why?"

"Because I am a citizen of the Sea God, but my grandson is not. He is weak and cannot become a citizen of the Sea God." The old man said.

Ning Qiu didn't understand what he meant.
"What is Sea God?" Jiang Ling asked.

The old man looked up at the east and sighed deeply.

"The word Sea God is for the people of East Sea City. For outsiders, perhaps the word corpse king is more appropriate." The old man said.

Ning Qiu frowned, sure enough, this so-called Sea God was the Corpse King.

But what kind of existence is this corpse king?

Why is he regarded as the god of the sea by the people of East China Sea City?

"The Sea God controls all creatures in this sea area. As long as they eat something in the sea, they become the subjects of the Sea God." Afterwards, the old man opened his mouth, and spat out a sharp-toothed tentacle.

For some unknown reason, the old man's tongue has mutated into this appearance.

Rolling up the sharp-toothed tentacles and retracting them into his mouth, the old man continued: "All the fish in this sea area have a parasite in their bodies, we call it the sea god parasite. As long as they eat the food in the sea, they will be killed. This kind of parasite erodes the flesh, they will parasitize in your blood, and slowly mutate your body."

Hearing this, Ning Qiu's mind suddenly exploded, and his body trembled slightly.

Because those tiny maggots he saw were the sea god parasites that the old man said.

Before, they entered Ning Qiu's body through the capillary pores on his hands. In this way, he also has such parasites in his body now.

"Is there no way to get rid of these parasites?" Ning Qiu asked impatiently.

The old man thought for a moment, and then said: "Yes, but it depends on the severity of the parasite. If it has been infested by parasites for more than a year, it is basically impossible to get rid of it. Moreover, the people in East China Sea City regard the corpse king as the god of the sea. , They feel that being parasitized is a kind of greatest honor."

This kind of theory is simply absurd to Ning Qiu and Jiang Ling.

However, through the old man's narration, they finally understood everything.

Why are all the people in Donghai City like that kind of tentacle monster? It turns out that they have been mutated by parasites.

No wonder it is said that all the people in Donghai City are brave, even ordinary people dare to fight zombies.

In fact, after being infested by this parasite, they are considered zombies themselves.

"The corpse king mark on the map is on the coast of Donghai City. In fact, the person who made the mark did not want to tell people that the corpse king is near the city, but to tell people... the entire human beings in Donghai City are all corpses. A part of the king." Jiang Ling said.

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, many years ago, the humans in Donghai City sold their bodies to the Sea God, who is also the corpse king. It is precisely because of this that this city can stand for a hundred years without falling, even won't be attacked by zombies."

Ning Qiu fell into deep thought, wondering what to do next?
Is it necessary to slaughter the entire Donghai City in order to kill a corpse king?
Although they have all been eroded by parasites and become part of the corpse king, the people in Donghai City still have human thoughts and living habits after all.

At this time, Jiang Ling suddenly said: "What's the matter with the Sea God Ceremony? You said that as long as the elderly in East China Sea City are over 80 years old, they must participate in this festival and dedicate their bodies to the Sea God. So, what kind of process is this?" ? Has anyone seen the real corpse king?"

Ning Qiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

The old man shook his head and said, "Only the old people who participated in the Sea God's Ceremony will go to the Sea God's Altar. This is a kind of honor for the people of East Sea City, and they all participate voluntarily. Those who have seen the Sea God are already gone."

Ning Qiu said hastily, "May I ask when is the next Sea God Ceremony?"

Hearing this, the old man thought silently for a long time, and then said: "It should be this month."

The old man had already told them everything he knew, and told them not to try to challenge the Sea God, because that was an invincible existence.

Afterwards, Ning Qiu also asked the old man how to get rid of the parasites.

It's very simple, it is to cut open one of your own blood arteries, and then let the blood out.

Those parasites will follow the blood flow and be released little by little. After three days, all the parasites will be expelled.

However, this method is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die from excessive blood loss.

"Presumably you were pale before, and then fainted suddenly, because the parasite entered your blood and fed on your blood, which led to the emergence of sepsis." Jiang Ling said.

Ning Qiu nodded, it should be like this.

With Ning Qiu's physique, there is of course no problem with bloodletting.

But it will take three days. If the Sea God Ceremony starts at this time, they will not be able to catch the corpse king.

At this time, Ning Qiu finally thought of turning Ning Qiu into a corpse.

The two returned to the parking place of the armed chariot. After eating some dry food and water, Ning Qiu released the corpse Ning Qiu.

"You finally remembered me, kid. How long has it been? Didn't you say to let me out after finishing the matter?" As soon as the seal was opened, Ning Qiu's corpse-turning voice sounded in his head.

"Um, I'm sorry, there were some accidents last night, so I forgot about you." Ning Qiu said awkwardly.
